* Battery specifications shown are from the manufacturer. The PS150/CH150 contains
charging algorithms that optimize battery charging over the range of –40 to 50 °C.
Battery usage outside of manufacturer specifications could have unknown effects on the
life of the battery.
Battery life is shortened if the battery is allowed to
discharge below 11.5 V.

Notes:
1.
Specifications assume a 1 kilowatt per square meter illumination and a
solar panel temperature of 25 °C (77 °F).
2.
Individual panels may vary up to 10%.
3.
The output panel voltage increases as the panel temperature decreases,
which is in the same direction as the recommended VRLA battery
charging voltage change with temperature.
4.
Higher latitudes and less sun hours during winter months might require a
larger panel than what is required to keep the battery charged during the
summer.
